Economic commentator Saul Eslake has announced he is leaving Bank of America Merrill Lynch to run a consultancy in Tasmania.
Mr Eslake is a former chief economist with ANZ bank and was a director at the Grattan Institute and remains one of Australia’s most well-known economic commentators.
He worked for Bank of America Merrill Lynch for three years and has been a financial markets economist for more than 25 years.
He said he would return to his home state of Tasmania to work on his own consultancy business.
• Robin Charles Halton in Comments: I have listened to Saul Eslake a number of times commenting to the media on many issues about the finances of the nation. I consider that he is a straight shooter and seems forthright with his approach. Exactly it is he who we need in Tasmania as I am getting sick and tired of the lies and cover ups.
